"Voting is now closed.

Thank you to everyone who contributed in helping decide a name for Node 3. NASA will announce the winning name in April 2009. Watch this space for further details!"

Serenity has 70% of the vote, more than five times any other runner. I think we can rest assured of the result.

There's no place I can be since I found Serenity.

Serenity did get the most votes but they also said they were not bound by the vote total in choosing the official name.

But considering the other two modules are Unity and Harmony, Serenity will be a perfect fit.

Love. You can learn all the math
in the 'verse, but you take a boat
in the air you don't love, she'll
shake you off just as sure as the
turning of worlds. Love keeps her
in the air when she oughta fall
down, tells you she's hurting 'fore
she keens. Makes her a home.

STORYMARK

Serenity got the most votes of the posted options.

Colbert won (as a write-in) with total votes by a wide margin, though.

Yeah, Serenity lost to Colbert as a write-in by about 40,000 votes. But, as I said in another thread, you don't get to be a higher-up at NASA without having some brains in your head. Fortunately, they clearly stated that they aren't obligated to go with the final decision, and I think they'll go for the tasteful choice.
